The need for accuracy � DXing is competitive and life-long: it’s a big, complicated arena. � The rules are very precise � Award schemes are cherished and achieved on a level playing field Callsigns are chaotic and often ambiguous for DXCC claims Difficult awards are only attractive when they are credible Without precise DXCC maps, Club Log would be of no practical use!
